“I don’t know what to do, she’s irate.”

According to the police report, the family had refused her request for a raise so she decided to quit.

“I’m quitting my job today and they are not paying me but I need to be paid in order to quit. I need my full pay check,” she told the 911 dispatcher.

Logan County Sheriff’s officers reminded local residents that kidnapping is, in fact, a serious crime but so far the family has declined to press charges.
